Fix some of the GDB linkage setup. The l_name member of the gdb linkage

Browse source 
structure is always free()ed yet only sometimes malloc()ed. In particular,
it was simply set to point to l_filename from the a linker_file_t in
link_elf_link_preload_finish(). The l_filename had been malloc()ed inside
the kern_linker.c module and was being free()ed twice: once by
link_elf_unload_file() and again by linker_file_unload(), leading to
a panic.

How to duplicate the problem:

- Pre-load a kernel module from the loader, i.e. if_sis.ko
- Boot system
- Attempt to unload module with kldunload if_sis
- Bewm

The problem here is that the case where the module was loaded with kldload
after system boot would work correctly, so this bug went unnoticed until
I stubbed my toe on it just now. (Also, you can only trip this bug if
you compile a kernel with options DDB, but that's the default now.)

Fix: remember to malloc() a separate copy of the module name for the
l_name member of the gdb linkage structure in three places where the
linkage structure can be initialized.
